Scientists find pair of blackholes dining together in nearby galaxy merger AAS_Office

—they found not one, but two black holes gluttonously devouring the byproducts of the merger. Surprisingly, they were dining side-by-side with just 750 light-years between them.

Koss added that the use of ALMA was a game-changer, and that finding two black holes so close together in the nearby universe could pave the way for additional studies of the exciting phenomenon."ALMA is unique in that it can see through large columns of gas and dust and achieve very high spatial resolution to see things very close together.

Ezequiel Treister, an astronomer at Universidad Católica de Chile and a co-author of the research said,"There might be many pairs of growingin the centers of galaxies that we have not been able to identify so far. If this is the case, in the near future we will be observing frequent gravitational wave events caused by the mergers of these objects across the universe."
